Hi Guys

Great that you are going to do LSP meetups in Holland!
I’ve run 6 LSP Meetups in London – You can see photos and get a sense of what happened here

My learning so far.

Small is good. I’ve tried two sizes, up to 20 people and about 7. The bigger meetup had 2 facilitators and we had to juggle getting both groups to finish at the same…[Read more]

Hi Ali,

Sorry, we did one in january in London …
The next training we organize is in Amsterdam, june 2015. And to see where other trainings take place, please check the event calender of Serious Play Pro ..there are quit some opportunities. Good luck of course and keep on playing.
Best Regards, Michel Cloosterman

Hi All,

Great idea! Count me in.

Hey Erwin, Massimo and Martin,

I will be glad to join you guys.
All the best, Michel

Hi Martin,
I certainly like the idea and I’d love to work this idea out, together with some other facilitators here. Let’s see if there’s anybody else who wants to get this thing going. And if not, we can organise something together.

Cheers,
Erwin

Sean – thanks for the ideas! Would be great to see a photo of your approach indeed – perhaps it might be an interesting front page post of the community to also provide some useful ideas for the others?

Hi Marko

I took a kit to Holland, I bagged up the bits in zip lock bags of various sizes and stuffed the whole lot into a checked in bag.

The absence of a hard box made the packing really easy.

If you pour the big sets of bricks out onto flip chart paper in the workshop, it makes sliding the bits back into bags easy.

Incidentally, I bought…[Read more]

Hi Martin,

Sean from the London group here. Bjorn trained with me in London – he said he might be interested, so perhaps contact him? https://nl.linkedin.com/in/bjornbierhaalder

If you want to share ideas for meetups that would be great!

Good luck getting a group going – I’d suggest you just set up a MeetUp group and people will come… you…[Read more]

Sean – love your gridcards concept, thank you for sharing! You might have seen that Tesla Amazing has come up with a novel idea about cards of different sizes that can be written-erased and that stick with static charge to just about any walls: http://teslaamazing.com/

Planning your day looks good. Given that thinking with your hands may be…[Read more]

Gabriel – thanks for your open description of your success and lessons learned. This is always the challenge for a facilitator – how to be well prepared, but still be ready to be flexible to changes during the session.

While you seem to be very critical about the process I would focus to what you have said – the client was happy about the…[Read more]

Thanks very much Mark. I have seen the 1000 participant post, but not yours. 3 minutes, vision for a country – brilliant!

The conference I’m designing might begin by asking people to identify the challenges their industry faces. Capturing answers on gridcards (my version of post its…[Read more]

Sean – sure. Please let us know what kind of exercise you have in mind and what is the type of group that you have in mind.

There are lots of interesting case studies of running LSP sessions in large groups. You have probably already seen this:…[Read more]
